Question: How to Map Maximum Velocity of MIDI Rhythms to a CC Fader (Similar to Ableton’s Velocity Plugin)?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working with some MIDI rhythms, which I’m sending to an external drum machine. Currently, all the triggers are set to G8. In Ableton, I can use the Velocity plugin to control velocity ranges. I’m looking to achieve something similar by mapping the maximum velocity of these MIDI notes to a CC fader. Is this possible? If so, could anyone guide me on how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey, we’re talking Midihub here?

I don’t know Ableton but I’m guessing we have a repeating pattern of notes with differing velocities,
say vel = {23, 49, 16, 75, 12}, { 23, 49, …}, …
and –with this example– you want the value sent to the fader to be {23, 49, _ , 75, _}, { _ , _ , …},

If that is the scenario, try the following strategy:
R8080T_CC_ratchet.mhp

The key part is this:
SelfMappedTransform
where the lower range of the velocity range that creates the CC is mapped to “itself” so it ignores any subsequent lower velocity.

If that is the basic idea covered, you need to decide what trigger will reset the Work with Velocity in Range Low to zero!

let me know if I’ve missed the point…

Hey Thanks! , effectively it’s just a midi volume knob I’m wanting to control from cc fader on a launch pad mini.

Hope that makes sense ?

OK, so simpler than I thought.

launch pad mini → USB → Midihub → Where?

Where’s the MIDI volume knob?
